Pressure is mounting on the Japanese government to compile uniform guidelines on school bus safety after a 3-year-old girl died of heatstroke last month when she was left for several hours inside a vehicle used by a kindergarten.
The incident involving China Kawamoto, who died on Sept. 5 after being left behind in a vehicle in Shizuoka Prefecture for about five hours, was a painful reminder of a similar tragedy only a year earlier — the case of a 5-year-old boy who succumbed to heatstroke in Nakama, Fukuoka Prefecture, after being left in a locked nursery school bus for about nine hours.
